Mr. and
Mrs. Emil Bosselman are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. A. Degener this
week.

H. Pertz
attended the farmers’ course of agriculture in Madison.
He was well pleased with what he learned and saw. He also
said that he found out the reason for the high taxes, seeing
everything there, but still he believes it is worth while paying
the taxes for what we are getting for it.

Alvin
Reichert of Granton visited with his brother Louis over
Sunday.

August
Prust made a business trip to Granton Wednesday.

Editor Baer
was in town Monday and while calling on Otto Sampe he got so
interested in the manufacture of cheese, butter and type setting
machines that he missed his train by about ‘4 inches and 2
seconds’. But it was here where a friend and two long
legs came in handy. He met E. A. Webster with his two ponies
hitched to a spring cutter and after explaining to him what had
happened; the latter offered his services and drove him as far as
Yolo which would shorten the walk home by about two miles.
From here he set out afoot, caught up with the train about half a
mile down the track, got on and rode home.

The Royal
Neighbors of the lodge of Chili wish to thank the Chili band who
kindly furnished the music at their pie social held in the Woodman
hall of that place the 19th inst.
